Hi all,
New to the board here.
I wear BTE's (Oticon Sumo) and I use my T-coil when I'm on the phone (landline and cell). The problem is -- whenever I use my cell, I encounter tons of interference (which all of you T-coil users already know about...). I heard that DAI is the best possible alternative, allowing the sound travel directly to your ear like a T-coil connection would, only without the interference.
That being said, does anyone know of any possible scenarios I can use my bluetooth phone, preferably wirelessly?
Does anyone utilize their DAI boots, as opposed to using t-coil, when using their cell phone?
One thing that was suggested to me was to connect my phone wirelessly to the Jabra BT3030, and use DAI-supported cords for my hearing aids (which can be attached to the Jabra). It's not exactly the wireless route I wanted, but I cannot think of anything better.
I am aware of the ELI, but the response is mixed (as seen on this board), and it's also very expensive. I see that Jabra is only 45 bucks on Amazon, and if I can use my ear hooks (which is my preference, as opposed to the neck loop), then I should be all set.
Sorry for the long post. Would love to hear your tip, ideas, thoughts, regarding DAI vs Telecoil, and using bluetooth completely wirelessly?
Thanks gang!
